CARE AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow
label instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean
water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Use vinyl grill cover to protect finish from weather.
COOKING GRATES
The griddle and side burner grates can be cleaned after the grill is allowed to cool down.
Cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners.
This is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks
of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a
worn appearance. For removal, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless
cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
PORCELAIN PARTS
Certain parts of your grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product and is
highly durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows,
which can create interlaced micro-fractures, or "spider-webs." Please take care not to strike any
porcelain covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows.
These interlaced micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the
chipping nor the interlaced micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance of your grill,
and are not covered under the warranty for porcelain parts.
GRANITE MAINTENANCE
Outdoors can be very harsh on the granite of your grill. Dirt, pollen and even UV rays can affect
the granite. Please follow these instructions to preserve the granite's natural beauty:
- Granite is a hard, non-porous natural stone and is relatively not affected by harsh chemicals.
However, it is recommended to use a neutral cleaner or stone soap (available in hardware
stores or from a stone dealer), or a mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.
- Rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- Blot up spills immediately, before they penetrate the surface.
- Clean as often as needed to keep grime and dirt removed.
- Granite must be sealed to prevent or minimize staining and/or fading. Leaving granite
unsealed may make it difficult to remove stains in the future. It is recommended to seal your
granite outdoors every 4-6 months depending on climate conditions.
